Heat Pumps

Ian Coombes Australia Pty Ltd is proud to offer the "Performance Plus" range of heat pumps for both residential as well as commercial installations.

The "Performance Plus" range of Heat Pumps are built by Hotwater Heat Pumps Ltd Hotwater Heat Pumps have been specialist pool heat pump manufacturers since 1980.

The benefit of a heat pump is that it offers a coefficient of performance in that while its input is low, it is capable of producing up to four times more heat than its input, depending on the outside ambient air temperature. An example of this is the HW225 model, which is a single-phase unit having an input of 2 kW. Depending on the ambient air temperature and humidity, this model is capable of producing up to 10 kW of heat output. This performance is based on 18°c wet bulb and 28°c pool water temperature.

These heat pumps, using standard sizing are capable of maintaining a pool temperature of 28°c for an extended summer season, mid October to mid March, unless otherwise stated.

Heat pumps are sized with the use an insulating pool blanket in mind. If a bubble cover was used to cover the pool, or an insulating pool blanket was not used, then we would have to size a larger unit, creating a higher capital and operating cost.
